This Time - John Martyn

I’m putting you right out of my life

Ain’t going to see you for quite some time

I’m fading away in the morning sun

Maybe behind it, I’ll find someone

Baby, why do you sneak into my mind

Why do you haunt me all the time

Why don’t you go and leave me be

Why don’t you go and leave me free?

This time

Stop me if you think you can

Oh, we had a love that lived and died

When it was over there was no one to cry

So now that it’s gone without one tear

I reckon it’s time that I was not here

Baby, why do you sneak into my mind

Why do you haunt me all the time

Why don’t you go and leave me be

Why don’t you go and leave me free?

This time

Stop me if you think you can

Been flitting around your scene too long

Reckon it’s time I was travelling on

Oh baby, if you don’t want me to go

Why are you whispering my name so low

Baby, why do you sneak into my mind

Why do you haunt me all the time

Why don’t you go and leave me be

Why don’t you go and leave me free?

This time

Stop me if you think you can
